Not seen this in a lot of years. Love the driving and stunt work.

Gentle-ish but dated spy comedy. This was the inspiration for the le Carre novel The Tailor of Panama.

Imagine Revenge of the Nerds in a video game arcade...

Too much nudity for it's own good, and the atmosphere isn't quite there, but not far off being a great movie. However, it flopped. Less reliance on special effects than contemporaries like An American Werewolf in London.

So I thought I'd check out the original. This one DOES get the atmosphere right. Short, and the horror is mostly suggested, which makes a pretty good movie.

In the style of Bonnie and Clyde, a good old gangster shoot 'em up. Harry Dean Stanton's Homer van Meter is an unfortunate comedy fall guy, while Richard Dreyfuss is a cold blooded killer as Baby Face Nelson. Dillinger vs Purvis is a great cat and mouse rivalry too.

I recently watched "Dune" and it was an epic cinematic experience. I streamed it on my Firestick https://www.firestickhow.com/how-to-set-up-firestick.html, which has become my go-to for accessing a diverse range of films. The convenience and ease of use make it a fantastic tool for movie enthusiasts. If you haven't seen Dune yet, I highly recommend it.

You know how sometimes low budget sci-fi movies are a bit of fun? Yeah, this isn't one of them. Does star Robert Englund pre-Freddy Krueger and Erin Moran (Happy Days) though.

Never seen this before. Why does a shit movie like Neverending Story get remembered so fondly when this gets forgotten?

I haven't seen this for years! I think I may even still have it somewhere. I watched Willow so many times as a kid (and never saw Neverending Story even once Wink)

It wasn't so forgotten that they didn't make a recent legacy sequel series to it, but I don't know what the heck's going on there since it was pulled from streaming so damn fast...I never got around to checking it out.

A great sequel to East is East. Love Om Puri and the rest of the supporting cast.

Not seen this in over 40 years. We went to see it as a school trip. It might seem a bit brutal now, but I wasn't particularly bothered by it as a kid, because rabbits were pests and you were meant to shoot the buggers anyway (I suppose things were a bit different for country kids). I do remember one of my classmates being really disappointed by it because he thought it was going to be a war movie about a battleship.

How the fuck had I never seen that before? A great reminder of why Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise are rated as highly as they are.

A nearly three four long action fest. Impressive, but after a point it does feel they could have accomplished the same film with a runtime similar to the first three movies. This one feels like it's going all out and big because it's the end of the series and yet, John Wick 5 is already confirmed. Confused

Not seen this in years. Not the first, but the most famous teen slasher movie. This is a lot smarter than the sequels.

Solid with some real gruesome bits in the opening sequence, although it's a bit more slow burning after that. The ending is all kinds of sad and ironic.

Seen this before. Amazing cinematography, a simple but compelling story, and a real sense of menace on a tight budget.
